If I was AV I think I might drop Burrows down to the 2nd line to give it more pop. Then I would put Kassian with the Sedin's and tell him his career depends on them. I'm still not sold on the tiny tots at the 2 c spot but I'll leave that up to Gillis.

I agree, Gassian on the first with the twins is the way to go....let me know how it works out...Lap, Higs & the Bur are an awesome line! Assholes, the lot of them (OK, Chris is the nice guy).

Didn't watch but apparently Schroeder and Raymond had some good chemistry. Schroeder was able to hit Raymond a number of times with passes while Raymond was in full stride. Raymond is in a contract year and needs to have a good season. Be great for the team if he can bounce back to being a 20-20 guy (25-25 would be even better!).

He's in a contract year I believe so he should be playing as hard as ever has.

I certainly don't think anybody would complain if Raymond has a monster season. He's one of the secondary guys right now who definitely needs to step up.

In a game of shinny with no fear of being bumped May Ray lights it up. As a Canucks fan I would like to see the skinny rat from Cochrane produce. We 'll see....

No kidding. I'm not so good at making conversions to expectations due to lockouts.

Let's see how he plays in something that isn't shinny. This year from the get go may very well be "playoff" hockey. He has a lot of work to do to convince himself and the masses that he can produce at a second line clip or if he's going to be a 3rd line/PK energy guy. It's a million or two difference to his cheque every year.
